Eyes Are

The New York ~Iadependent heads a re-
cent editorial with, "a Lesson for the Re
publican Party" It's text is the large and
enthusiastic Prohibition convention at
Syracuse, n. y, and it reads its party a
lecture, some of it quite severe, on its re-
peated shortcomings and willful neglect
Of duty with respect to the temperance
question.
The admissions made are somewhat
remarkable, and as they are made under
pressure we may presume they are true.
For instance, it says, f'The Third Party
was made possible by the blunders of
the Republican party Here is an admis-
sion that plumbers have been made, and that
they were serious enough to drive off large
numbers Of temperance men from IFS ranks.
Again, this remarkable language is used:
''The Third Party can be brought again
into the Republican fold, at least the ma
jority Of it, whenever the Republican party
chooses to do SO; not by appealing to their
old love for the party, not by %denouncing
them as an appendix to the Democratic
party, but by taking an open, manly
stand, s~eyering its alliance with the saloon,
and entering into an alliance with the peo-
pie against the saloon.'' We call this Ian
guage remarkable, because the admission
is made that the Republican party is in
f'alliance with the saloon" When Prohi-
bitionigts make such a charge they are de-
nOunced as falsifcrs and slanderers. But
here comes the Iadependent, published and
edited by Republicans, and tell us its party
has been and is in ''alliance with the sa-
loon" Is it any wonder that several hun
dred thousand voters have left the party If
that charge be true? Is it a matter of
surprise that thousands more are leaving
or are about to leave for the same reason ?
These men are opposed to alliance with the
saloon, and it is because they have found
out that there is a secret alliance with the
saloon hat they nave become Prohibit
tionists.
The independent does not forget to read
the Proh.bitionists a lecture on ''the folly
and futility Of their course, " but in view
Of the acknowledged alliance of the Re
publican party with the saloon we do not
see how we, who were formerly Republi-
cans, could have done anything else. We
can have no fellowship with the saloon,
no excuse or apology to make FOR leaving
a party that is in alliance with such an in
stitutiOn. k(0rd, (IU.,) M0nit0r.

GOV. coIquItt ON High License.

At a recent grove temperance meeting
near indianapolis, Gov. Colquitt, ofGeorgia,
had the following to say in regard 10 high
license:
we are told that high license will ruin
the finances Of the State; that public roads
would not be worked, school-houses would
n 0 be built, school teachers would not be
paid. Why, they said all that in Atlanta,
and it made our hearts quake over what
would happen. In Atlanta $3.50 % was
received annually from licensed groggeries.
Take that away they said, and you can't
build schc0I-houses, you can't educate the
children. God help US if u sole reliance
for the education of the children Of theland
is upon the saloon-keeper and the grog-
gerry. Taxes! taxes, taxes! One school
house on top Of the hill and . dozen grog-
geries at the bottom. despise to argue
this question upon the revenue idea. Why?
Because I respect my fellow men, their
virtue and lofty sentiment, and despise to
come down and talk about money and rev.
enuc in connection with home, and heart,
and education. It is a low, degrading ba-
sis. Money, money, money, Get money,
though God is defed aud hell is the gain
or. There were $50, 900 at stake in At
lanta. I suppose You people up here think
we are nearer the torrid zone-we are a
warm, impGlsiye people and don't calcu-
late coolly as you people in the north do.
Oh, no; you are 4 cool-headed. and you
VIII sit down and calculate with a slate
and pencil. Well, grant it, grant It.
There is boy ruined, a home broken, 4 hus-
band destroyed, a wife broken-hearted.
Money, money! Give SIS, 600 in license
for indianapolis and let home. and boy,
and wife 90. Is that the way? In this
day are We to put down figures and tell
just how much a soul is worth? Christ
propounded a question that has not as yet
been answered, What shall it profit a man
if he gain the whole world and lose his

talk about enlightenment and civilization
can tell you. Theyconsidered : Sc, 000in the
city Of Atlanta was sufficient compensa-
ton for one hundred boys ruined yearly,
for numberless homes ruined forever. Yes,
they said that's a good investment-$5G,-
900! Is that your idea here?
THE state OF Indiana is bound to have a
chance, and you are going to have that ar
gument presented to you, especially in the
cities. VIII it be made to nave a financial
b~earing-the revenue to be derived from
the sale of liquor? don't want to appeal
to any such low sentiment. I want to ap-
peal to the sentiment of every man who
has been well begotten, well-raised. would
not want to live in a city where people
could point to a magnificent building and
say, Look. what we have done in Indian

HOW WOMEN BEGIN TO DRINK.
Startling Figures from a Prison super


Out Of an examination Of 204 incbriate
women. have found that 1913 began their
drinking by the use Of beer, 37by drinking
whiskcy (as punch at first usually, 20 be
gan with wine, eight with gin, and eleven
could not remember what beverage was
first used. These young girls, mill and
shop girls largely, began by going to some
so-called refreshment saloon with their
friends, and the debutautc usually began
by slipping a little tonic (made Of hops,
sugar and water, charged with carbonic
acid gas and colored with burnt sugar;
beer soon followed, and soon rioting, other
kinds Of intoxicants, recklessness and
crime; and what was an innocent, foolish
girl yesterday is today a branded cri minal,
and all for a glass of beer. Alas. how
many ruined lives / have seen.
Beer was also the beverage which older
inebriate women used to enticc the younger
ones to drink. a call upon one Of these
old sots was a signal for the pitcher of
beer to be sent for, and a little coaxing
and urging would result in the first fatal
glass being INDUCED in. The steps were
then easy. Beer is the trap which the
drunkard maker sets for the feet Of the
unwary. And he usually makes sure Of
his prey because of it. a glass Of raw
whiskey would awe presented but slight
attraction to these oyerworked, half-fed
girls, had it been offered them at first,
After that sleeping devil, the appetite for
mtoxicants, had been aroused by beer, it
became altogether a different matter, and
at last, in many cases, chloroform or pep
permint oil was added to the drink ofthesc
maddened creatures, so furious had the
appetite become for something stronger.
1t may be Of interest to note that out Of
204 inebriate women, 1876 had been guilty
of other crimes, and yet in but 1G instances
did the first commitment ofcrime antedate
the habit of drinking.
Of the beverages first used, while in but
81 cases it began with whiskey, in 49, it
had become the ~fayorite beverage. Sew
eral hopeless %drunkards, far gone toward
insanity, had never drank any other intox-
icant than beer.
One hundred and thirty-two were com
mitted to prison for drunkenness, So for
offences against chastity and public order,
and 1G for crimes against property, Their
ages when last committed averaged 305
years. Sixty-ive were between 80 and Al
years of age, 30 between % and 81 years Of
age, "a between 20 and 2G years Of age, 80
between Is and 81 years Of age. Tha re-
mainder were over A years Of age.
Many Of the older ones could not tell
how many sentences they have received,
showing the absolute usclessncss OF pun
ishing these poor creatures while the
temptations are left in their way.
TO show the effect upon the children Of
inebriate parents, ! collected the following:
OF III inebriate mothers, 80 Of whom had
inebriate husbands, 4Os children were
born. OF these 227 persisted in infancy
and carly childhood, aud Of the survivors

The following is clipped from Mondays
issue Of the New York World. 1t is hard
ly needful to say that there is no truth in
the article, but to some a denial will prob
ably be necessary:
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, of Woodstown, are up in arms
against the managers Of the Woodstown
Fair. which Is the principal exhibition Of
Salem county. The Temperance Union
asked for the privilege Of putting booths
on the fair grounds for the accommodation
Of visitors, and also to furnish a light
luncheon. The managers refused the re-
quest, and on that account the women
started a little boycott and discouraged
many from attending. The managers
have been severely criticised for their ac-
tion, and the ladies in the future will give
them a wide berth. As some Of them are
exhibitors it will probably canse some fall
ing of ia the number of exhibits next year.
One Of the directors in an interview said
that the request was not properly made.
The ladies', however, believe that there is
"a nigger in the w~oodpilc' somewhere.

The contrast between the weather Of
September, 1886, and September, 1887, has
thus far been very marked. In 1886 the
hottest weather Of the year occurred in
September. This year we have had no
heat Of which we could rightfully CON-
plain, and for the past week the weather
has been really charming. The equinoc-
tial storm may put in its appearance yet,
but weather-wise people assure Us that
it occurred during the early part Of last
week, when everything threatened storm
